You have been learning about specific strategies for keeping safe and not becoming a target, at school, on the street and on the Internet. We have talked about staying alert, walking with confidence, dating abuse, sexual assault, internet safety, sexting, and password safety. SARSSM also spoke to you about sexual assault. This included a lesson focusing on stereotyping, the victim as well as the rapist. The perpetrator is always responsible, not the victim. You learned about the importance of supporting the victim not the perpetrator. We often tend to let our emotions lead us instead of common sense. We need to listen to our instincts. If it doesn't feel or seem right, it probably isn't. Remember it takes the average person at least three minutes to figure out what to do in a crisis situation and by that time he/she could be a statistic. It is important to have a plan. I am hoping that you now have a plan. CommentsAllie B Mon, 06 Apr 2009 05:37:18
Allyse LeBlanc Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:04:55 Having a plan can really help us when/if something bad happens. If we are in a tough situation and don't have a plan we could loose control of our mind and start to panic. It would be very difficult to survive in a deadly situation when you don't already have a plan. It will help keep our triangle balanced because, knowing that we have a plan will make us happy and confident.(mental/emotional) Also it will help us know how "friendly" to be to strangers.(social) And last it will keep us able to have the strength to go out and try sports or go for a run alone if we know what we're going to do in a bad situation.(physical health) Erin B Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:08:06 I completely agree with Allie! But also a few more things, looking around to the environment to see what's happening, if you see someone in dangerous conditions like for instance being abused, don't just think oh someone else has probably called the police already its taken care of because what if the other people around were thinking the same thing. You can never be too sure about anything! The world is not always a save place. Nicola Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:10:17 Having a plan can help you get out of a bad situation or prevent a bad situation. If you were prepared for it you could get away and not be hurt. Also you shouldn't do drugs or drink alcohol it might make you do something that you would regret later. That goes in the physical health triangle. If your in a bad situation that is dangerous to you you should use a phone to call 911 because if you went up to the people to try to stop it they might have a gun or a knife. It's better to call from far away. When you are walking alone you should walk confidently and don't walk with your head put down. You should put your keys in your fingers and check under the car if you have one. Cheyenne Coombs Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:10:21 By having a plan, you are pretty much keeping yourself safe. If you have a plan you will be prepared and know what to do when and if that time comes where you have to act upon. Since the human mind takes 3 minutes to comprehend what is happening and actually make a decision, you will be prepared to make the right choice. By having a plan, you can keep yourself physically healthy because you won't have to be put in that situation and can prevent anything from happening to you. Emotionally safe because if you don't have a plan than you are more likely to become stressed and confused and might make the decision that you know isn't the right one. Aleina P. Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:54:39 If you have a plan, it can help from becoming a victim of of crime because then there would be a better chance that you wouldn't be one. If you have some knowledge on some things that can keep you safe, then most likely, bad things wouldn't happen to you. For example, holding your keys so they're pointing out from in between your fingers, walking with confidence, and peeking under your car before you get in it. Doing so will help you stay safe. It will also help you keep your health triangle balanced because it will make you feel more secure, so mentally, you won't be completely stressed out. Physically, you can be alright if you do some of the methods shown above. It would also help if you knew some defense mechanisms. This will make you feel more protected so just in case something bad were to happen, you could defend yourself. And finally, you can stay socially safe by trying to only talk to the people that you know and if you avoid the ones that look suspicious or that you don't know. codyp.

Mon, 04 May 2009 08:08:12 Aleina Mon, 04 May 2009 08:09:19 I agree with Allyse about how it would be difficult to survive in a deadly situation when you don't already have a plan. Erin Bogdanovich Mon, 04 May 2009 08:09:49 I like Aleina's because she has a wide range of information and it shows she took a lot of time and effort to write it. codyp. Mon, 04 May 2009 08:10:37 Rapists are smart, be smarter Nicola Mon, 04 May 2009 08:10:41 I agree with Aleina with avoiding people you don't know because if you tried talking to a stranger they could try to get you to do drugs with them or other stuff. Erin Bogdanovich Mon, 04 May 2009 08:12:03 I like nicola's because it mostly says to have a plan and be ready for life coming at you. good job. codyp.
